Mon, 10 Sep 2012 21:38:30 +0000mboy4161535@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/<p>Giant Defy also worth a look in. They come with 25c tyres as standard, and clearance for proper mudguards and rack mounts.

Mon, 10 Sep 2012 21:36:04 +0000waller4161522@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/<p>I have a ribble as well. Got my frame on the clearance section which might be worth a look if they have anything in your size. Specced mine with Fulcrum 5 wheels and full Campag Centuar for under £600. Fair bit of hunting around for bargains mind but it's all new kit.</p>
<p>It's so good it's become my main road bike. Just seem to get on with it really well. I think the frame and forks were about £68 as its the older smaller headset type. Not that I'm bothered.....

Mon, 10 Sep 2012 21:32:37 +0000spangelsaregreat4161508@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/<p>Have a Boardman Hybrid with drop bars which doubles as a CX bike. Discs are great for winter riding. Bought before they did disc specific CX bikes so would recommend one of them. Room for guards and fatter tyres. Take them off and stick some nobbly tyres on and you can take to the hills!</p>

Mon, 10 Sep 2012 08:30:39 +0000Teetosugars4158809@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/<p>I built up a winter bike for under £700.. </p>
<p>Spotty dog in the crappy weather IMHO.</p>
<p>I do like the lookof the Kenisis frames mind..</p>
<p>But for under £100 for the F + F you can't go wrong. </p>

Mon, 10 Sep 2012 07:11:56 +0000jonba4158695@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/<p>I'd also say a CX bike. Slicks for the road but proper tyres will Widen your riding options. Keep it interesting. Plenty come with mudguard mounts. If you are group riding then full guards is the only polite thing to do!</p>
<p>If you want a proper roadie look at merlin.

Mon, 10 Sep 2012 00:07:32 +0000faz0834158632@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/<p>mmm I like the Ribble one but it's sora on it, compared to that lovely Canyon with full 105 (including chainset) - it just doesn't seem right! But if you lot say they're good....

Sun, 09 Sep 2012 20:13:30 +0000kevin19114157739@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/<p>I'll second the Ribble Winter Bike. They've gone up in price a fair bit the last few years, but still represent fantastic value for money. Mine has been entirely solid and dependable.

<p>As in riding when it's damp / drizzly / wet / torrential / biblical?</p>
<p>If yes to any of the above, something with mudguard eyes for well, mudguards.</p>
<p>Plenty of steel frames out there
